Behind Your Eyes

Have you
noticed
that the
Presence
behind
your eyes

is still
Awakening,

even as your
body begins to
dematerialize
into blurred
lines and
shadows
of the taut
and muscled
definition
it once was?

You are more
Aware
of What Is
than you’ve
ever been,
especially when
you thought
you were
your smooth
skin.

Do you still
imagine
that the
Soul
that grows
more Alive
with every
breath

will be
trapped
in your
ashes?
